February 2019.Pdf MILITARY SEA SERVICES MUSEUM, INC. SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT February 2019 A message from the President Greetings, I hope everyone recouped from the holidays. The Museum had a good financial year in 2018. Our gross revenue was about $19,500 thanks to $ 7,500.00 in donations from one very generous Museum member and several generous donations from members, friends and visitors. The Museum had 1366 visitors in 2018, a record that exceeds by 553 the previous record set in 2017. It looks like 2019 could be another record year. As of the end of February, We had over 200 visitors, including group visits from Hardee Homes (40) and the Kaiser-Frazer-Willys Overland Car Club (45). John Cecil The damaged ceiling in our library mentioned in the December 2018 Scuttlebutt has been replaced with modern dry wall, textured, and painted. This turned out to be such an improvement to the appearance of the library that the Museum's Board of Directors decided to bite the bullet and have the leak stained WW II era ceiling in the front entrance (quarterdeck) replaced with the same material, texture and paint. Additionally, Fred Carino our Curator and Museum Member Steven Safford (talented electrician) are installing track lighting. The ceiling and lighting project will be completed early March. We believe that this will be a knock your socks off improvement to the appearance of the Museum. If you haven't been to the Museum in awhile, you need to stop in to appreciate these and many other recent improvements to the building and displays. John A New Vice President and A New Treasurer The Museum's Board of Directors at their January meeting confirmed Betsy Waddell as its new Vice President and David Smutnick as its new Treasurer. Betsy assumed the VP duties on 8 Jan 2019 and David assumed the Treasurer duties on 6 Mar 2019. The Board of Directors thanked Gordon White and Gene Kissner for their years of service as Vice President and Treasurer respectively.

My guess is many have forgot about Miller's actions. Miller was 19 years old when he enlisted in the Navy in 1939. Back then, the military was segregated, and black sailors like Miller were kept from combat roles. The only jobs open to Miller was as a mess attendant and cook. As a result, Miller didn't received the combat training that other sailors received. That didn't stop him from taking action on 7 December 1941 when his ship, the USS West Virginia (BB-48), was attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. On that morning, Miller was doing laundry rounds when the call to battle stations rang out. At first, he ran to the closest anti-aircraft battery, only to find it was destroyed by a Japanese torpedo. One of West Virginia's officers, noticing how big and strong Miller was, told him that the ship's captain was injured on the bridge, and they needed someone big to carry him. Miller immediately ran through enemy aircraft fire and flying shrapnel towards the bridge and he carried the captain to safety. When Miller returned to the ship's deck, he saw an unmanned Browning .50 caliber anti-aircraft machinegun. He was not trained in the use of this gun, but no one else was using it.--- Someone had to shoot down the Japanese planes. So, Miller manned the gun and started to shoot down plane after plane. In the confusion of battle, it is unknown how many planes he actually shot down, but some accounts have it at four or five. After running out of ammo, Miller began carrying wounded sailors to safety. Time after time, he ran to his injured shipmates, exposing himself to gunfire, shrapnel, and toxic smoke to save his shipmates. He gave no thought for his own life. His actions saved countless lives that day. As a result of his heroic actions, Doris "Dorie" Miller became the first black sailor to receive the Navy Cross. On November 24, 1943, nearly two years after Pearl Harbor, Miller was killed in action when his ship, the USS Liscome Bay (CVE-56) was sunk by a Japanese submarine during the Battle of Makin Island. Thank You A very big thank you to Coker Fuel. For the past three years, Coker Fuel has generously provided the Museum propane gas and tank free of charge.

It is always good to patronize local businesses that support us. 3 Chief Gunner’s Mate John Henry “Dick” Turpin by davisg022 Chief Gunner's Mate John Henry "Dick" Turpin (1876- 1962). One of the first African-American CPOs, Turpin enlisted in the Navy in 1896. A survivor of the explosions on both Maine (1898) and Bennington (1905), he became a Chief Gunner's Mate in 1917 and transferred to the Fleet Reserve two years later. He retired in 1925. Qualified as a Master Diver, he also served as a Master Rigger at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. During World War II he made inspirational visits to Navy Training Centers and defense plants. (U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command) He was a Mess Attendant on the battleship USS Maine (ACR-1) when it exploded in Havana Harbor, Cuba under mysterious circumstances on the night of 15 February 1898. Turpin was in the pantry of the wardroom when the explosion occurred, and felt the ship "heave and lift" before all went dark. He worked his way aft and climbed out of the wardroom on the captain's ladder and up onto the deck. He dove overboard and was rescued by a motor launch. Turpin was one of 90 out of the 350 officers and men aboard Maine that night to survive the explosion. According to an obituary that appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Turpin (whose next ship assignment was not reported) saw action in China during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion.

  • America's Undeclared Naval War
    America's Undeclared Naval War Between September 1939 and December 1941, the United States moved from neutral to active belligerent in an undeclared naval war against Nazi Germany. During those early years the British could well have lost the Battle of the Atlantic. The undeclared war was the difference that kept Britain in the war and gave the United States time to prepare for total war. With America’s isolationism, disillusionment from its World War I experience, pacifism, and tradition of avoiding European problems, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved cautiously to aid Britain. Historian C.L. Sulzberger wrote that the undeclared war “came about in degrees.” For Roosevelt, it was more than a policy. It was a conviction to halt an evil and a threat to civilization. As commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, Roosevelt ordered the U.S. Navy from neutrality to undeclared war. It was a slow process as Roosevelt walked a tightrope between public opinion, the Constitution, and a declaration of war. By the fall of 1941, the U.S. Navy and the British Royal Navy were operating together as wartime naval partners. So close were their operations that as early as autumn 1939, the British 1 | P a g e Ambassador to the United States, Lord Lothian, termed it a “present unwritten and unnamed naval alliance.” The United States Navy called it an “informal arrangement.” Regardless of what America’s actions were called, the fact is the power of the United States influenced the course of the Atlantic war in 1941. The undeclared war was most intense between September and December 1941, but its origins reached back more than two years and sprang from the mind of one man and one man only—Franklin Roosevelt.

  • 1 of 7 Three Ships Named USS Marblehead Since the Latter Part Of
    Three Ships named USS Marblehead The 1st Marblehead Since the latter part of the 19th century, cruisers in the United States Navy have carried the names of U.S. cities. Three ships have been named after Marblehead, MA, the birthplace of the U.S. Navy, and all three had distinguished careers. The 1st Marblehead. The first Marblehead was not a cruiser, however. She Source: Wikipedia.com was an Unadilla-class gunboat designed not for ship-to-ship warfare but for bombardment of coastal targets and blockade runners. Launched in 1861, she served the Union during the American Civil War. First assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she took part in operations along the York and Pamunkey Rivers in Virginia. On 1 MAY 1862, she shelled Confederate positions at Yorktown in support of General George McClellan's drive up the peninsula toward Richmond. In an unusual engagement, this Marblehead was docked in Pamunkey River when Confederate cavalry commander Jeb Stuart ordered an attack on the docked ship. Discovered by Union sailors and marines, who opened fire, the Confederate horse artillery under Major John Pelham unlimbered his guns and fired on Marblehead. The bluecoats were called back aboard and as the ship got under way Pelham's guns raced the ship, firing at it as long as the horse can keep up with it. The Marblehead escaped. Reassigned to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, she commenced patrols off the southern east coast in search of Confederate vessels. With the single turreted, coastal monitor Passaic, in early-FEB 1863, she reconnoitered Georgia’s Wilmington River in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the ironclad ram CSS Atlanta.

  • U-163 Operations and Loss After Attack on the Erie
    U-163 OPERATIONS AND LOSS AFTER ATTACK ON THE ERIE On November 13, 1942, the U-163 was ordered to move eastward in the vicinity of the Lesser Antilles Islands. Near the island of Martinique, on 18 November, the U-163 was attacked by a British Hudson-type bomber that dropped four bombs on her. The U-163 managed to escape unscathed. The next day, she did not fare quite as well, when another Hudson attacked just east of the Lesser Antilles. The Hudson's four depth charges caused minor damage that was quickly repaired. The sub continued her search for merchant vessels east of Barbados. Two days later, she sighted smoke pouring from the stacks of two freighters. She began pursuing one, but broke off the hunt after a half hour. With the smoke of the second vessel still visible, the U-163 began pursuing her. She was the 6,060-ton British steamer, the EMPIRE STARLING, transporting frozen and canned meats, mail and other goods to Trinidad. After stalking the vessel for seven hours, the U-163 finally launched a fan shot of three torpedoes. Two hit the EMPIRE STARLING, causing her to list slightly. Minutes later the finishing shot was loosed, and she sank to the floor of the Caribbean Sea. The 55-man crew all survived the sinking and the sailors were left to fend for themselves in four lifeboats. The Master of the ship, Eric Monckton, was taken aboard the U-163 and ultimately transported to a Prisoner-of-War camp for allied mariners, Milag Nord.
